It is actually Hydrogen. Sodium Bicarbonate is properly known as Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and sometimes Sodium Acid Carbonate (Hydrogen makes it an acid)
Compare
NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)
Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)
Since sodium carbonate takes two sodium ions for each carbonate, and bicarbonate has only one, ratio of carbonate ions to sodium ion doubles, hence the term bicarbonate.

Is sodium bi carbonate organic?
No, despite the fact it contains carbon, sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 is an inorganic salt.
Is it safe to eat potassium bicarbonate and sodium bi-carbonate solution?
Not directly. However there are edible products made with very small amount of this solution. By the way it's "Potassium Carbonate and Sodium Bi-Carbonate solution" AKA: alkaline water. Not Potassium Bi-carbonate.
What is the reaction between bismuth nitrate and ammonium bicarbonate?
solution of bismuth nitrate and ammonium bicarbonate will react to form bismuth ammonium nitrate and CO2. If excess of ammonium bi carbonate is added possibility of ppt of bismuth sub carbonate is there.
Is bi-carb soda the same as citric acid?
No, bicarb soda is another name for sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. Citric acid is a completely different substance.
When sulphuric acid is passed through sodium bi-carbonate?
The sulphuric acid will react with the sodium bicarbonate to form carbon dioxide, water, and sodium sulphate, bisulphate, or a combination of the two.
Is there aluminium in bi-carbonate of soda?
No. bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate) is made of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
Why phenol is soluble in Sodium bi-carbonate?
Sodium bicarbonate is a solid, so no.
When vinegar reacts with sodium bi carbonate what happen?
The sodium bicarbonate gives off carbon dioxide (CO2)

Not directly. However there are edible products made with very small amount of this solution. By the way it's "Potassium Carbonate and Sodium Bi-Carbonate solution" AKA: alkaline water. Not Potassium Bi-carbonate.
Why magnesium bi carbonate forms magnesium hydroxide on boiling?
Magnesium bicarbonate forms magnesium hydroxide on boiling because of the high temperatures.
What is another name of sodium bicarbonate?
An alternative name (and the preferred modern nomenclature) is sodium hydrogen carbonate.Perhaps, though, you were looking for the common name, which is "baking soda" (not baking powder, that's sodium carbonate).
