The whole tone scale only uses full tones, therefore there are six notes per octave. Theoretically could can start a whole tone scale on any note but there are only 2 distinct scales.
Whole tone scale starting on C:
C, D, E, Gb, Ab, Bb, C
Whole tone scale starting on Db:
Db, Eb, F, G, A, B, Db
Starting a whole tone scale on any of the other notes would merely be inversions of the scales mentioned above.

How many half steps are between c AND F SHARP?
There are five whole steps in a heptatonic (7-note) major scale. They occur between the 1st and 2nd notes, the 2nd and 3rd notes, the 4th and 5th notes, the 5th and 6th notes, and the 6th and 7th notes. In practice, the scale usually includes an 8th note, which is one octave above the Tonic (first note). In practice, scales are played in both ascending and descending form; therefore the relation between the 7th and 8th notes is important! Half-steps thus occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and between the 7th and 8th notes. Therefore, in response to your question, there are 2 half-steps in any major scale. Yours truly, Fredrick Pritchard
