Baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) which is one of a group of sodium-based compounds that fall under the generic name of "sodas". The adjective "baking" comes from the fact that one of its primary uses is as a leavening agent in baked goods, and to distinguish it from other sodas including washing soda, caustic soda, etc.
