I think this chemical balance is correct but I'm not sure if I am writing it right or not. Any help?
What am i doing wrong with this chemical formula?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the correct representation of the chemical formula Pb(NO3)2, emphasizing the importance of proper capitalization in chemical notation. Participants clarify that "PB" is incorrect and should be written as "Pb" to accurately denote lead. Additionally, there is a correction regarding potassium iodide (KI), which is noted to be in solution rather than solid form. These details highlight the significance of precision in chemical formulas.

Perhaps it's not accepting your answer because of a small typo: PB(NO3)2 should be Pb(NO3)2. After all, lead (Pb) is not the same as a phosphorus-boron (PB) compound.

also, KI is not a solid, it's in solution
