Because it is in liquid.
Baking soda is a compound (has more than one element) and is not a solution or an element. If baking soda was added to water or another liquid, you would have a solution.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is an ionic compound.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is an ionic compound.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture if one or more solutes completely dissolves in a solvent. Baking soda on it's own is not a solution, however it can be a solution in water.

solution, ........ but with a bit of particles in suspension,
Because a solution is similar to a homogeneous mixture which means that it is so evenly mixed that you cant see the different parts
If you evaporated the water then the baking soda would be left which states its a solution. If nothing is left then it is a compound. Hope this helped :)
baking soda
Noe, while baking soda and water on their own are compounds, together they are a mixture.
solvent: water solute: baking soda
sprinkle baking soda on them or try a water and baking soda solution
Solution of baking soda is basic.
As an ionic compound it dissociates when added to water: NaHCO3 => Na+ + HCO3-
Pure baking soda does not have a pH. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution (a solution where water is the solvent). But if you have baking soda, or any alkaline substance, in a higher concentration (i.e. more dissolved in the same amount of water) the pH will be higher, if it is in a lower concentration, the pH will be lower.
Baking soda is a chemical compound; the correct, systematic name is sodium hydrogen carbonate. The formula is NaHCO3.
