However, chemical notation's properties can also be a disadvantage - it requires memorizing the names of the elements of the periodic table. In addition, uniqueness of pitch class is a disadvantage as well - since all the notes are separately named, it does not reflect the harmonic structure of 118edo.

~~This being said, there~~ are ~~a few~~ correspondences - 2\118 is the width of the s-block, and is also the size of the Pythagorean and syntonic commas in 118edo. ~~In addition,~~ 87\118 (francium, start of period 7) and 89\118 (actinium, start of the 7f-block), form 5/3 and 27/16 respectively. Mercury, ending the 6d-block, corresponds to 8/5. The minor tone 10/9 corresponds to 18 (argon), a noble gas, ending 3 periods, while 9/8 corresponds to 20 (calcium), the 2s metal.

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

* 2\118 is the width of the s-block, and is also the size of the Pythagorean and syntonic commas in 118edo. I

* 87\118 (francium, start of period 7) and 89\118 (actinium, start of the 7f-block), form 5/3 and 27/16 respectively.

* Mercury, ending the 6d-block, corresponds to 8/5.

* The minor tone 10/9 corresponds to 18 (argon), a noble gas, ending 3 periods, while 9/8 corresponds to 20 (calcium), the 2s metal.

* 6\118, the width of the p-block, corresponds to one step of the maximally even parakleismic scale, created by stacking 6/5.
