What is the triad built on the fifth step of the scale is called?

The triad built on the fifth step of the scale is called the dominant triad. It consists of the root note, the major third, and the perfect fifth relative to the fifth scale degree. In a major scale, this triad is a major chord, while in a minor scale, it may be a dominant seventh chord when including the seventh note. The dominant triad plays a crucial role in establishing tension that resolves back to the tonic.

What is dominant in musical terms?

When working with a scale and chord progressions, each chord used in the scale has a name. The chord built on the first note is the tonic and the chord built on the fifth note is the dominant. It provides a resolution when the music moves from the firth to the first chord. In the key of C, the chord built on the first note, C-E-G, is the tonic chord, and the fifth is based on G-B-D. The dominant is the second most important step in the scale after the tonic.
