It's called a whole-tone scale. An example is C D E F# G# A# C.
A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave.
A pentatonic scale is made up of 5 notes, and can be hemitonic (containing half steps) or anhemitonic (not containing half steps).
A major scale is made up of whole steps and half steps. Whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. For example C Major would be C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. D Major would be D-E-Fsharp-G-A-B-Csharp-D.

You have described a Whole Tone Scale.
The major scale is made of whole and half steps. WWHWWWH
It is a scale made up exclusively of whole steps, as distinct from the standard western diatonic scale that is built upon the structure whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. For example, starting at E flat, the notes of a whole tone scale would be E flat, F, G, A, B, D flat.

The "G" in a G major scale is the starting pitch (also: root, tonic). "Major" tells you the steps you take when playing the scale up to the next G. The distance jumped between notes give a scale its character. A major scale sounds like the do-re-mi scale. Other scales, like minor scales, can sound sad.The "major" refers to the root chord you play. If it's major (G,B,D), the distance between the G and the B (major third) sounds bright. If it's minor (G, Bb, D), the third is flattened, so it tends to sound sadder.A major scale is made up of a chunk of 3 whole step notes (G, A, B) followed by another chunk of 4 whole step notes (C, D, E, F#). These two chunks are a half step apart. (B-C).Whole steps are steps with a key wedged between them. For example, G->A is a whole step because there is one black key between them. A half step has no key between notes. B->C is an example. So is F#->G.
Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg invented the chromatic scale. He made this invention in the year of 1921 and ensured all twelve notes were on the scale.
