What is the 7th note in minor scale?

To determine what the seventh note (leading note) is in a minor scale, you need to determine which minor scale you are playing.

The seventh note of a harmonic minor scale is a semitone (1 note) below your tonic note. Ex: In E harmonic minor scale, the leading note is D sharp.

The seventh note of a melodic minor scale (ascending) will be a semitone below your tonic note, like your harmonic minor scale. Descending the melodic minor scale reverts to its natural state, therefore your seventh note will be a whole tone below your tonic.

What is the difference between e flat minor and d sharp major?

For a start, the main difference is between the more martial, joyful major sound and the more sombre melancholy minor. The fact that the first note of each key (the tonic) is the same (Eb is the same as D#) is probably the only similarity. Thereafter the flattened third and sixth note of Eb minor will distinguish it in sound to the scale of D# major. The second difference is the writing; the same notes, while sounding identical, will look different on the sheet music.
