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

What is the opposite of a diatonic scale?

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.
