The 12 tones of the chromatic scale, where each note is of equal importance, are referred to as the "twelve-tone equal temperament" system. This system divides an octave into 12 equally spaced pitches, which include all the sharps and flats. It is foundational in Western music, allowing for the modulation between keys without changing the inherent sound of the notes. Composers like Arnold Schoenberg developed techniques using this system to create twelve-tone serialism, emphasizing the equal treatment of all notes.
Chromatic
The chromatic scale has twelve different pitches on it. These pitches range from A to G sharp (G#) or A flat (Ab). All semitones in the chromatic scale are the same size.
It is called twelve-tone technique, which is a form of serialism.

Notes that are altered from the traditional scale are called altered chords. These chords are defined on different scales, such as the chromatic scale, as being a diatonic note.

Music in which all twelve tones of the chromatic scale are of equal importance is called "twelve-tone music" or "dodecaphony." This compositional technique, developed by Arnold Schoenberg in the early 20th century, ensures that no single note dominates, creating a more democratic use of pitches. It often involves a specific sequence or series of the twelve tones that serves as the foundation for the composition.
There are 12 pitches in the chromatic scale.

That's a chromatic scale.
Chromatic
A chromatic scale is a scale where each note of it is separated by a semiton - that is - it includes all the notes that exist. C1, C1#, D1, D1#, E1, F1, F1# ... B1, C2, C2#, D2... etc For instance, in a keyboard that would mean you'd play all the white and black keys sucessively.
The chromatic scale has twelve different pitches on it. These pitches range from A to G sharp (G#) or A flat (Ab). All semitones in the chromatic scale are the same size.
A chromatic scale will, by definition, have sharps and/or flats.
It is called twelve-tone technique, which is a form of serialism.
