It is a scale made up exclusively of whole steps, as distinct from the standard western diatonic scale that is built upon the structure whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half. For example, starting at E flat, the notes of a whole tone scale would be E flat, F, G, A, B, D flat.
It is known as an Octave (a musical scale of eight notes).
my best friend is Hannah sorry. I thought I was answering a musical question. A tone is a whole step, as in from C to D on the C Major scale, while a Semi-Tone is a half step, as in C to C# on the C Major Scale. The Major scale also contains half steps or semi-tones, in C major the are from E to F and from B to C
The whole tone scale is made up of exactly what it sounds like, a series of notes each a whole tone away from the other. Starting on F, a whole tone scale would consist of (1)F (2)G (3)A (4)B (5)C#/Db (6)D#/Eb, which would then finish with (7)F, right back where it started. So the sixth note (D#/Eb) is the interval of a minor 7th, or 10 semitones, away.
I think you mean E if you are talking about a whole tone scale. There are many musical scales!
The whole tone scale only uses full tones, therefore there are six notes per octave. Theoretically could can start a whole tone scale on any note but there are only 2 distinct scales. Whole tone scale starting on C: C, D, E, Gb, Ab, Bb, C Whole tone scale starting on Db: Db, Eb, F, G, A, B, Db Starting a whole tone scale on any of the other notes would merely be inversions of the scales mentioned above.
There are eight notes (steps) in a major musical scale. If whole steps are tones and half steps are semitones, then the order is tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.
What ever note that is a major second interval below the starting note of the scale.

Yes it uses the whole tone scale as there are no semitones in the melody. You are right.
One difference between a whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale is that a whole tone scale has 6 notes per octave while a pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave. Another major difference is that a whole tone scale has all adjacent notes a whole step apart, while a pentatonic scale does not consist entirely of whole steps, and since a pentatonic scale is only defined as a scale with 5 notes per octave, there are many pentatonic scales that are possible.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by how many steps but I can explain a whole tone scale for you. A whole tone scale is comprised of all whole steps. For example: A B C# D# F G A or Bb C D E F# G# A# (which is Bb) So I guess there are 7 notes in the whole tone scale if that was what you were looking for.
