The whole scale is simply a scale built out of a whole bunch of whole tones. The whole tone has 6 notes that are all a whole step apart (W-W-W-W-W-W). Every note of the scale has a two-fret (notes) leap either way to find the next note of the scale. And whatever String/Key you're playing on, the notes on the next string will simply be one fret along from the frets of the first string, so it's easy to remember.
This type of scale is harmonically limited because it is impossible to build major or minor triads and the only seventh chord we could create are the dominant 7th but with his diminished 5th, in other words, the French augmented sixth, or with the augmented 5th. On the other hand, this tonal ambiguity allows the composer to create chord blocks sonorities in order to compensate for the major and minor chords. Ex whole tone on key C- C-D-E-F#-G#-A#-C
