A scale made up of consecutive half steps is known as a chromatic scale. In this scale, each note is a half step apart, covering all twelve pitches within an octave. It consists of both the natural notes and their corresponding sharps and flats, creating a uniform sequence of intervals. This scale is often used in various musical genres for its versatility and richness.
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.

A pentatonic scale is made up of 5 notes, and can be hemitonic (containing half steps) or anhemitonic (not containing half steps).
The major scale made up of five whole steps is the C major scale. In musical terms, it consists of seven notes and includes two half steps, which occur between the third and fourth notes and between the seventh and eighth notes of the scale. Therefore, in total, the C major scale has five whole steps and two half steps.
