Why are the keys on a piano white and black?
The white keys represent the musical tones A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The black keys differ from the white keys in that they represent half-step intervals — known as sharps and flats — between various notes. A group of seven white keys and five black keys together make up the 12 notes we call an octave.
Why are there black keys missing piano?
Notice that from B to C and E to F have no black keys between them because they are already half-tones. This creates a keyboard that is a succession of 12 half tones which repeat. What about the other keys and positions?

Do you know how the black and white keys of the piano arranged?
Pianos are arranged with white keys for the musical tones of A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. The black keys fill in the gaps for the remaining half-steps, which are notated as sharps or flats as a key signature or accidentals within the piano music. You'll get to know the keys on piano as you practice scales, to begin with.
