What is the broad term for scales consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps.?

Answer 1

Diatonic is the broad term for scales consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps.


"In music theory, a diatonic scale is a heptatonic scale that includes five whole steps and two half steps in each octave, in which the two half steps are separated from each other by either two or three whole steps, depending on their position in the scale. This pattern ensures that, in a diatonic scale spanning more than one octave, all the half steps are maximally separated from each other "
