Are sodium bicarbonate and sodium metabisulfite the same?

No. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the monatomic sodium ion (Na+) and the polyatomic bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3, a compound of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
