Fourth note of the scale?
Any major scale follows the same pattern. After the first note is a whole step, then another whole step, then a half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step; therefore, the fourth note of a scale is two and a half steps away from the first note.

What is difference between a flat and a minor on the keyboard?
A flat is the note that is a half step down from the note with the flat sign. A minor is the name of a type of scale, which is the scale starting with the minor note it's named after. For example, the B minor scale would start with B minor, as opposed to starting with C (the first note of the common C major scale).
What sharps or flats does the F major scale have?
There are 3. The scale notes are: A B C# D E F# G# and then back to A so the 3 sharps are C#, F# and G#. All major scales are a pattern of whole steps and half steps so if you know this pattern then even if you are not a musician you can play every major scale on a piano. Just start with the note that begins the scale, in this case 'A'. The pattern is 2 whole steps, then a half step, then 3 whole steps, and another half step back to the beginning note (an octave higher). On a piano, the whole steps (no matter what note you start from) are 2 keys apart. From A to B there is a black note in between, this is a whole step. From B to C is only a half step (there is no black note in between) so you have to jump to C# (the black note to the right of C), then we come to the first half step, from C# to D (the white note immediately to the right)... and so on.
How is a minor scale formed?
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step. To create a natural minor scale from scratch, it is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
