You will notice that there are black keys between the keys C and D, D and E, F and G, G and A, A and B. And off course, one whole step equals two half steps. The smallest distance between two notes is a half step, and in the C major scale, there is one whole step between two consecutive notes except between E and F and between B and C where there is only one half step. The white keys on the piano keyboard correspond to the notes of the C Major scale, that are: C D E F G A B.
