A whole tone is the same as a whole step. It is the distance of two notes separated by another, such as C to D (C# is in between) and B to C# (C is in between). A third is an interval of three degrees (C and E). A fifth is an interval of five degrees (C and G). An octave is an interval of eight degrees--the same note eight notes higher or lower (Middle C and C).
