it is this: if the key is C major, the fifth note in that chord is G. Basically what that means is that the word dominant means fifth. I can also give you the whole thing of what is first all the way to the last note. It's this:
1. Tonic
2. Supertonic
3. Mediant
4. Sub-dominant
5. Dominant
6. Sub-mediant
7. Leading note
Hope this helps!
A V-chord is a dominant triad. The route note is on the fifth scale degree (G in the key of C; Eb in the key of Ab; etc.).
The dominant is the 5th, which in the key of A-flat major is E-flat. Then an E-flat major triad contains the notes E-flat, G, and B-flat.
b major
The piano replaced the harpsichord as the most dominant instrument.
well a piano guitar ect. piano is the most dominant though

Dominant triads, which are built on the fifth (or dominant) note of the scale, are (almost) always major - even when written in a minor key. This is because the middle note (which is the 7th note of the scale - known as the leading note) is always raised by a chromatic semitone.For example:The C major dominant triad is composed of the notes G, B, and D.The a minor dominant triad is composed of the notes E, G#, and B. Although there are no accidentals in the key signature of this scale, the 7th note is raised from G-natural to G# in order to make it a harmonic scale.That's not to say that minor dominant triads don't exist, because they do. They're just rare. You might be able to find a minor dominant triad in a situation where the dominant triad is played in conjunction with a descending melodic line (i.e. where the 6th and 7th notes of the scale aren't raised).

Bb. It is really easy to find which note is a fifth down by playing the major triad with the top not as F. That triad is Bb, D, F, so Bb is a fifth below F.
Short answer: IT IS A DOMINANT. For detailed information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_(music)
There is actually no such thing as a "dominant scale", however you can use the notes of a dominant 7th chord as a scale and that can begin on any note, the dominant 7th chord in C major is G7 and G7 uses all white keys (G, B, D and F), the structure of a dominant 7th chord is the major triad plus the flatted 7th.
