A succession of single tones or pitches perceived as a unit is called a "melody." Melodies are characterized by their rhythmic and tonal qualities, allowing them to convey emotion and meaning in music. They often serve as the main theme or recognizable part of a musical composition.

"Expressing a musical thought" - Hmm! I could go with a rhythmically organized sequence of single tones so related to one another as to make up a particular phrase or idea but I think "thought" is taking it too far. Basically a melody is a pleasing succession or arrangement of sounds, a tune.
octave
Yes, there are six half tones in a standard musical scale. These half tones are the intervals between notes, such as C to C#, D to D#, and so on.
Musical tones are produced by the sound waves going through instruments and depending on the size shape and holes the are in the instrument. they vibrate off of the sounds.
because that's the way they are
