The last thing you say is 'keyboard/piano', so, regarding this, 'mono' probably refers to the jack output socket you use when you're only using one jack lead to an external amplifier or mixer. Similarly, 'transformer' probably refers to the type of mains lead the keyboard uses.
Right. Your first question. If you play the scale from C to C on the keyboard, using only the white notes, you have produced the C major scale. Note that there are no black notes between the E and the F, and the B and the C. This is because a scale is made up of 'tones' and 'semitones'. A 'semitone' is defined as the distance from one key to the next (including all keys - black and white). Eg, C to C sharp is a semitone. Therefore, logically, C to D is a tone (two semitones). A major scale has a certain order of tones and semitones - tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone. If you want to play the scale of G major, to keep this sequence correct, you have to introduce one black note - F sharp.
A minor scale has a different sequence: tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, "augmented second" (three semitones), semitone. This is a type of minor scale called a 'harmonic minor'.
To create chords, you need, at the most basic, the first, third and fifth notes of the scale. Thus a C major chord will be C, E and G; a C minor one will be C, E flat and G.
This, really, is only scatching the surface and I expect I've blinded you with science a bit. You need to get yourself a music theory book if you're serious about this.
Good luck!

I'm not sure what you mean by "mono" and "transformer." Where are these words coming from?
Are you talking about a keyboard instrument or what?
If you explain what instrument you're familiar with, I can answer your other questions. Otherwise, it's kind of hard to explain without being able to write in music notation here.

You say that you know "notations"...you need to have a key center then you'll think about how scales and chords are built.
Your second question...mono simply means "one" (like how your brain is working)..."transformer" is when you stick your finger into a socket! (then you'll git the message)
e-mail me and I'll tell you how to build chords and make scales. (sorry about the humor)
