6. A matrix is termed as column matrix if n = 1
7. A matrix is termed as null or zero matrix if aij = 0 for all i and j.
8. A matrix is termed as diagonal matrix if aij = 0 for all ij where i is not equal to j.
9. A matrix is termed as scalar matrix if aij = 0 for all ij where i is not equal to j and aij = constant (k) for all i and j.
10. A matrix is termed as identity matrix or unit matrix if aij = 0 for all ij where i is not equal to j and aij = 1 for all i and j.
