We must know the Scale (The tones of the Major and Minor scale ) in order to understand the Tonality.
The word scale is derived from the Latin word scala. A scale is a step-wise series of notes. It’s theoretically the eight consecutive notes (A B C D E F G A), that start at a particular note, then go up or down the keyboard, until get back to the same letter.

In a 12-note approximately equally divided scale, any interval can be defined in terms of an appropriate number of semitones. They are a whole tone or major second is 2 semitones wide, a major third 4 semitones, and a perfect circle of fifth 7 semitones. The whole tone is just twice the size of a half-step/ semitone.
