The whole-tone scale could be the opposite. Instead of ascending with half-steps, it ascends with whole-steps, resulting in a 7 note scale (counting both octaves).
Ex:
C D E F# G# A# B# (C)
A B C# D# E# (F) G A
That's a chromatic scale.
A chromatic scale will, by definition, have sharps and/or flats.

The opposite of a diatonic scale is a chromatic scale. While a diatonic scale consists of seven distinct pitches within an octave, following a specific pattern of whole and half steps, the chromatic scale includes all twelve pitches available in Western music, encompassing both the diatonic notes and additional sharps and flats. In essence, the diatonic scale is more structured and limited, whereas the chromatic scale is more expansive and inclusive of all semitones.
There are 12 pitches in the chromatic scale.
That's a chromatic scale.
The chromatic scale has twelve different pitches on it. These pitches range from A to G sharp (G#) or A flat (Ab). All semitones in the chromatic scale are the same size.
