The tones within a scale are divided by either tones or semitones. In a major scale, the order always goes: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone. For a minor scale, in natural form, the order always goes: tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone.
There are eight notes (steps) in a major musical scale. If whole steps are tones and half steps are semitones, then the order is tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.

Hi, Any major scale has this pattern: Tone, Tone, Semitone, Tone Tone Tone Semitone. Tones are 'steps' and semitones are 'half - steps'. Keep up the music playing!
Let's do C major. C D E F G A B. So there are 7. If you count the octave (C), then 8. This is the same with any major scale.

All major scales follow the pattern - tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone. Therefore, C major has 5 tones and 2 semitones.
Tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone + semitone, semitone.

The primary difference between a major and minor scale is in the positioning of the tones and semitones that make up the scale. Both scales have eight notes. In the standard harmonic minor scale, the semitones occur between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the scale, whilst in the major scale, the semitones occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and the 7th and 8th notes.
There is no such thing as a ''tritonic scale'', a tritone is an interval of six semitones (half an octave), hence the name ''tritone'' which means ''three tones''.
7.

Around the Baroque era, tonality went from modal to major and minor. The key signature was born out of the rigid sequence of tones and semitones in major and minor scales.
A minor third is the same distance as the tonic to the third in a natural minor scale. This is one tone followed by on semi tone, which equates to 3 semi tones. A major sixth would equate to ten semi tones. If you are going from the sixth of a major scale, to the third of a minor scale, you would be going down by 7 semi tones. However, if you are on the sixth note of a major scale, and go down by a minor third, then you will be going down by 3 semi tones.
