I will assume you are talking about a major scale on a piano, and the scales other than C major. (Similar answer for minor scales other than A minor.)
A major scale sounds the way it does because of the pattern of half-steps and whole-steps. A C scale has half-steps between E and F; and between B and C. But suppose you start on a different note--D, for example. D to E is a whole step (so far so good). for the second to third, you need another whold step, and that takes you to F sharp. After the third is a half-step, shich puts you on G natural, then whole to A, whole to B; but from the sixth to seventh, a whole step puts you an C sharp. Finally, the half-step back to the root puts you on D natural.

Do pentatonic scales only use black notes?
That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.

In simpler terms, scales are like the building blocks of music, while modes are different ways to use those building blocks to create different sounds and moods in a piece of music.
