Baking soda is simply bicarbonate of soda that reacts with an acid in batter or dough to produce gas and cause the product to rise. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and an acid, along with cornstarch or other ingredients. Substituting baking powder for baking soda or vice versa can cause a product to "fall" or fail to rise.
