  Triads
A triad is a group of three notes which are related by thirds.
The first group is a triad built on the note C. The triad contains the three notes C, E, and G (C to E is a third and E to G is a third-a stack of two thirds).
Of the seven triads which are spelled on natural notes (no sharps or flats) three are major, three are minor, and one is diminished.

Triad members then migrated south to the then-British crown colony of Hong Kong for the continuance of their business.

 Chord (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The major triad formed using the C note as the root would consist of C (the root note of the scale), E (the third note of the scale) and G (the fifth note of the scale).
This triad is major because the interval from C to E is a major third.
Examination at the piano keyboard will reveal that there are four semitones between the root and third of the chord on C, but only 3 semitones between the root and third of the chord on D (while the outer notes are still a perfect fifth apart).

Like triads, the names of other notes of the seventh are derived from their interval above the root: the third and the fifth and the seventh.
Seventh chords built upon augmented triads are extremely rare, as are minor triads with a major seventh and major or minor triads with diminished sevenths.
Another way of specifying chords that reflects their relationships to a particular key uses roman numerals to indicate the scale degree upon which the chord is built instead of pitch names.

So: if the triad is diminished and the seventh is minor, then only half of the chord is diminished, so we call this structure: -7 d5 m3 root a half-diminished seventh chord.
The structure, again, is d7 d5 m3 root and the spelling of a C fully diminished seventh chord is C, Eb Gb and Bbb (the _diminished_ seventh).
In the example of a C fully diminished 7th chord (as in all fully diminished chords), all the notes are a minor third apart.

Next, memorize the quality of the triad: CEG is major, DFA is minor, EGB is minor, etc. These triads are the natural triads in the key of C. Having this information memorized is just one more step to eliminating a lot of on-the-spot thinking.
Each note of the scale has its own triad, so in every key there are 7 triads (Roman numerals are the standard way to denote these chords): the I chord, the ii chord, the iii chord, the IV chord, the V chord, the vi chord, and the vii
