Firstly, lets think about your major cghords. All major chord consist of the first (root) third and fifth notes of the major scale from which they come. so, for c major for eg, C E and G. you chords will all contain 1st 3rd and 5th notes somwhere. so, to make them minor, simply lower the third by a semitone, ie one fret, and hey presto, a minor chord.

D flat, E flat, F flat, G Flat, A flat, B Double flat, C flat, D flat. However, since D flat and C sharp are, essentially, the same, it would be easier to write in terms of C sharp. The scale would then read C sharp, D sharp, E, F sharp, G sharp, A, B, C sharp.
A "blues scale" is a minor pentatonic scale with the additional sharped 4th/flatted fifth. Blues scales can start on any note but an example of the C minor blues scale is: C, E♭, F, G♭, G, B♭, and C. The structure of the scale is root (C), flatted 3rd (E♭), natural 4th (F), flatted 5th (G♭), natural 5th (G♮), flatted 7th (B♭) and back to the root again.
That would be your F scale.
The half steps in an E major scale are from Gis / G-sharp (enharmonically, As / A-flat) to A, and from Dis / D-sharp (enharmonically, Es / E-flat) to E.
C, C sharp/D flat, D, D sharp/E flat, E, F, F sharp/G flat, G, G sharp/A flat, A, A sharp/B flat, B, C.
F, g, a, b flat, c, d, e, f
No. There are a (plus a flat and a sharp), b (plus b flat and b sharp), c (flat and sharp), d (flat and sharp), e (flat and sharp), f (flat and sharp), and g (flat and sharp). That makes a, b, c, d, e, f, g Plus the flat and sharp for each, making 21 notes of the scale.
g flat, a flat, b flat, b, d flat, e flat, f, g flat
There are different rules. For major keys, the rule is this (by the way, # means sharp): C major scale- 0 sharps or flats G major scale- 1 sharp - F sharp D major scale- 2 sharps - F and C sharp A major scale- 3 sharps - F, C, G sharp E major scale- 4 sharps - F, C, G, D sharp B major scale- 5 sharps - F, C, G, D, A sharp F# major scale- 6 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E sharp C# major scale - 7 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E, B sharp. For major keys with flats: F major scale - 1 flat - B flat B flat major scale - 2 flats - B, E flat E flat major scale - 3 flats - B, E, A flat A flat major scale - 4 flats - B, E, A, D flat D flat major scale - 5 flats - B, E, A, D, G flat G flat major scale - 6 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C flat C flat major scale - 7 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C, F flat So as you might have noticed, in increasing order of sharps it is: F, C, G, D, A, E, B. And the increasing order of flats is B, E, A, D, G, C, F. If you notice the order of sharps is the opposite of the order of flats.
