  Chord
When a chord progression resolves to a III or IV chord, it is called a Tonic Substitution, because the stable III or VI chord is being used as a substitute for the expected I chord.
The five down a perfect fifth to the I chord and the VII chord up a minor second to the I chord, due to the expected resolution of the tritone, or the highly unstable diminished fifth which is present in a diatonic VII chord.
The dominant seventh chord is useful to composers because of the fact that it is a major chord with a very strong sound, that also includes a tritone between the third and seventh of the chord.

If the chord is an inversion, a lower case letter is written after the roman numeral: b for a first inversion, c for a second inversion and d for a third inversion.
While the dominant seventh chord is typically built on the fifth (or dominant) degree of a major scale, the minor seventh chord is built on the second, third, or sixth degree.
Chords not formed from thirds are named similarly for the interval used, thus a chord made from two fourths on top of each other is quartal.

 Chord (music)
Chords are also distinguished and notated by the scale degree, pitch, or note of their root and bass, although there are many different conventions for indicating the quality of the chord, and the inversion of the chord (determined by which note of the chord serves as the bass note); see Inverted Triads below).
Each note has a function within the chord: the note the chord is built on is called the root of the chord, the second note (a third above the root) is called the third of the chord, and the third note (a third above the second note) is called the fifth of the chord.
A minor chord, such as the triad on D, has a smaller interval from root to third called a minor third, and the chord is D minor.

 The Augmented 15th Chord - An Unseen Gem in the History of Music Harmony - Enrique Ubieta
As you can see, once the seventh and eleventh degrees of a thirteenth chord are altered—relative to their approximate pitch within the natural series—the eight component sounds of the augmented-fifteenth chord could be divided in two superimposed tetrads: the lower one, a dominant seventh; the upper, a major seventh.
Had this chord, however, stood out with this crowning overtone at the start of the 20th century, we would probably be pointing it out today as the first tertian chord of superimposed thirds to build onto its structure a representation of the microtonal gamut, without losing its impressionist harmonic features.
After the thirteenth chord was enthroned, several atonal chords went beyond it to add on to themselves the five remaining sounds of the chromatic scale.

 chord substitutions
A chord subsitution is a chord that replaces (substitutes) for a chord that you might usually expect in a chord progression.
An altered chord is a chord that has one or more of its chord tones changed from what it would normally be in the scale that it lives in.
F/G is really a dominant chord in the key of C and the root is of the chord is G, not F. Anyway, I am digressing a bit from the main point of this lesson, so let me continue.

The second note of the chord is the interval of a third above the root, and the third note is the interval of a fifth above the root.
These chords are acceptable in a minor key because they come from a different form of the minor scale.
Note that the major-minor seventh chord should not be used frequently because it is a chord that pulls to a tonic.

As you can see, once the seventh and eleventh degrees of a thirteenth chord are altered—relative to their approximate pitch within the natural series—the eight component sounds of the augmented-fifteenth chord could be divided in two superimposed tetrads:
Although the augmented-fifteenth chord should not be subject to any sort of alteration, it could, however, be reduced to seven or six of its eight notes by eliminating the fifth degree of one or both tetrads of the chord, respectively.
Therefore, this union consisting of both seventh chords could have been of great historical importance to music, considering it represented a genealogical relationship between an ancestor (the dominant major-seventh chord) and its analogous descendant (the secondary major-seventh chord), which has ever since habitually practiced its harmonic function over the first and fourth degrees of tonality.

 Chord (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One way of classifying chords is according to the number of distinct pitch classes used in their construction, a pitch class being identified by a degree of the chromatic scale (that is, a certain musical note, such as A, B, C, D, etc.) without regard to which octave it occurs in.
Chords using three pitch classes are called trichords.
Chords using four notes are known as tetrachords.
