Don't really get your question. So reply 1:
If you can spot C, just skip a black note and the next white note is D, skip the next black note and you're on E. The next note is F. There's no black note between E and F, so the distance between any two neighbouring notes is called a "semi-tone". Skip the black note after F and you have G. Skip the black note in front of G and you land on A. Skip the black note to the right of A, and you're on note B. After B, the next note is C again. This pattern repeats itself across the keyboard. BTW...the distance between two white notes with a black note between them is called a "whole-tone". As for the black notes, they are called enharmonic notes and can take the same note letter as either the note to their left or the one to the right. E.g, the black note next to C can be called C# (C sharp) or Db (D flat). So C# or Eb is still the same note with the same pitch (sound). The scale you're on will determine how they're named. Your should check youtube or google "music intervals and scales for beginners". But if you wish to learn faster, get someone around to tutor you.

Reply two:
There are formulas for building chords. It all depends on the chord quaility (major or minor, etc). You can use these formulas to build chords on any note. For the major scale, it is: 1-3-5. Meaning you play your root note, skip four semi-tones from the root (count four notes - including black ones) and you get your 3rd, then skip 3 semi-tones from the 3rd and that will be your 5th, and you have your major triad chord. Listen closely to the sound. The major triad always sound happy and cheerful. If we try to use this formula on note C, our major triad chord will be made up of notes C, E, and G. So C-E-G is a maJor chord.
For minor chords it's the opposite: So 1-3b-5 is the formula. Just count 3 semi-tones from your root note and you'll get your 3rd, and from the 3rd count four semitones and that will give you your fifth. But once you know your Major chords, you can easily find the minor ones by just dropping the 3rd of any major chord by a semitone. Let's use C major (C-E-G) chord as an example. If you drop the 3rd (E) by a semi-tone it becomes Eb or D# so a C minor chord is simply C-Eb-G...we don't call the note D# in this case for a reason that you shouldn't worry yourself about - for now. You'll learn the naming conventions later. Well, unlike major chords, minor chords sound mellow/sad. Play C major and then C minor and listen to the difference. Best of luck.
