What the difference between an whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale?

One difference between a whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale is that a whole tone scale has 6 notes per octave while a pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave. Another major difference is that a whole tone scale has all adjacent notes a whole step apart, while a pentatonic scale does not consist entirely of whole steps, and since a pentatonic scale is only defined as a scale with 5 notes per octave, there are many pentatonic scales that are possible.

Is major keys the same with major scale?

They are not the same but are closely related. A scale is any series of notes that goes from a note to the same pitched note an octave higher or lower. So a scale goes from C to C, or from E flat to E flat, and so on. A major scale is a special scale pattern that forms the basis of most Western music. A major key is the key that the music is played in. For any given key, the default notes will be the notes in the major scale of the same name. So in the key of C major the default notes are the 7 notes in the C major scale, and in the key of E flat major the default notes are the 7 notes in the E flat major scale. To further clarify, the interval between the two C's or E flats is called an octave. There are twelve specific notes in the octave. lets start with A. (Some notes have two names and they will be given in parentheses (The symbol # is pronounced sharp, the symbol b is pronounced flat). The notes are A, (A#, Bb), B, C, (C#, Db), D, (D#, Eb), E, F, (F#, Gb), G, (G#, Ab). A major scale uses seven of those notes. They are the starting point, skip one, then skip again, then the next one, skip, skip skip. So if you start with C, you get C, D, E, F, G, A, B and end it with the note of the next octave, C. This makes eight, hence the name octave.
