 This notation was proposed by Eliora in November 2021.
-is the number of chemical elements in the first 7 periods of the periodic table, and it is the number of elements which are ever expected to be most useful to humans. As a result, chemical element names can be used as note names in 118edo. In addition, such a notation is succinct as each pitch class is unique, and also it doesn't favor any other temperament or tuning besides 118edo.

As a result, chemical element names can be used as note names in 118edo. Chemical notation's properties can be a disadvantage - it requires memorizing the names of the elements of the periodic table. However, the notation is succinct and some people prefer this kind of notation for edosteps, as unlike MOS or JI-based notations, it is entirely based on 118edo alone and does not imply a preference of one edo over another.

 The following are the correspondences of the periodic table structure with 118edo:
