You have two spaces that shouldn’t be there.

div:hover {
  transform: scale(1.1); 
}

Edit: some clarification.

The :hover pseudo-class is on an element:
div:hover.

It is not a descendant of the element:
div :hover

Any CSS using function notation someFunction() has the parentheses next to the function name.

scale()
not
scale ()
