Why don't the black piano keys have natural note names?
The black keys are considered half note keys.... For example.... if you put your finger on the G note..... If you go up to the black key to the right of it on the keyboard you will have G sharp,,,, if you go down to the black key to the left of the G note you will have G flat.... so the black have no note name of their own....

What has a lower pitch a violin or cello?
A cello can play in the range of a violin (much of it), if that's what you mean, but a violin's highest note is much higher than a cello's highest note.
What is the purpose of a sharp and flat note?
The Western musical system has 12 individual semitones which divide the octave (an octave being the point at which the musical system repeats itself). However, the Western musical system only uses seven letter names to represent notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). The remainder of the 5 notes are given names which identify their relationship between the note and the closest named note. On the piano keyboard, the "named" notes are the white notes. The black notes take their names from the closest white note. The purpose of Sharps/flats is to raise/lower a note by a half-step. The word "sharp" indicates a note which is half-step higher (to the right). C-sharp (also, C#) is the black note to the right of the note named "C". D# is the black note to the right of the note named "D". The word "flat" indicates a note which is half-step lower (to the left). E-flat (also, Eb) is the black note to the left of the note named "E". Db is the black note to the left of the note named "D". This naming system creates two strange issues. First, each black note takes on two different names. The black note to the right of C is also to the left of D. This means that this note is known as both C# and Db. Musicians say that C# is the ENHARMONIC EQUIVALENT to Db, and understand that both names refer to the same location on the keyboard. Second, because not every white note has a black note beside it, certain white notes can also be known by "sharp" or "flat" terminology. For example, there is no black note in between B and C, and no black note in between E and F. This means that C is to the right of B, and is therefore also B#. B is to the left of C, and is therefore also Cb. By the same logic, F is E# and E is Fb.

The viola is written in alto clef because that is its musical note range. Note that you are required to learn "the violin clef" too. Also because we needed another clef... and violas are special and didn't fit into any of the other instruments' ranges.
