Best Answer

In a major key, the triad built on the 7th scale degree is diminished. Using C major as an example, the triad on the 7th is B D F. B to D is a minor 3rd, as is D to F, so B to F is a diminished 5th.

Generally, the leading note is the seventh tonal degree of the diatonic scale leading up to the tonic. For example, in the C major scale (white keys on a piano, starting on C), the leading note is the note B; and the leading note chord uses the notes B, D, and F: a diminished triad. In Music Theory, the leading note triad is symbolized by the Roman numeral vii°.

Why are there more white keys than black?

There are seven diatonic notes in a diatonic seven-note scale and there are five notes which are not part of the scale. The black keys (flats/sharps) are not designated as part of the basic C major scale and the notes in the C major scale are the white keys. For this reason, there are more white keys than black keys on a piano keyboard however, some of the white keys which lie on either side of the groups of two or three black keys, can be used as sharps and flats in certain cases. In the G-flat major scale, for instance, the fourth note still needs to be lowered, however the note directly below C is B, so B can be used as C-flat and likewise C can be used for B-sharp. Hope than makes sense.
