What notes are in F?

F, F major, is F, A and C: the root (F), the major third (A) and the perfect fifth (C). Its formula is 1 3 5.

What is the difference between F and Fm?

One note. F has the major third, A; Fm lowers it a half step to A♭. That one note turns the bright sound of a major chord into the darker sound of a minor one.

Can I play F5 instead?

F5, the power chord, is F and C with no third, so it is neither major nor minor. It stands in for F in rock, especially with distortion, where a full chord can sound muddy.
