A scale of eight tones based on "Do" is known as an octave scale, which includes the notes: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, and Do (the higher octave). In Western music, this is commonly referred to as the major scale, where each note corresponds to a specific interval from the root note, "Do." This scale forms the basis for melodies and harmonies in various musical compositions. The first and last "Do" represent the same pitch, completing the octave.

The pentatonic scale uses 5 tones in an octave.
There are eight notes (steps) in a major musical scale. If whole steps are tones and half steps are semitones, then the order is tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.
The tones within a scale are divided by either tones or semitones. In a major scale, the order always goes: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone. For a minor scale, in natural form, the order always goes: tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone.

A note that is one octave higher is double the frequency. In Western music this frequency range is divided into twelve tones. The difference between each tone is called a half-step. A musical scale uses a series of eight tones, combining whole steps and half-steps, to reach the doubled frequency. It's mostly a matter of how music is defined and what our ears are accustomed to hear. In Eastern music systems there are more tones defined between a note and double its frequency. Because Western music defines a scale to have eight tones, the range is called an octave.
Music based on the seven tones of a major or minor scale is called diatonic music. This type of music is characterized by the use of notes that belong to the scale, creating a sense of tonal stability. Diatonic scales serve as the foundation for many Western musical genres, allowing for the development of melodies and harmonies that adhere to the tonal framework.
