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.
