Model Answer

Baking soda has the chemical name sodium hydrogen carbonate (or sodium bicarbonate) and its chemical formula is NaHCO₃.

Explanation

This is a standard 1-mark factual recall question. Examiners expect both the chemical name and formula. "Sodium bicarbonate" is also accepted, but "sodium hydrogen carbonate" is the IUPAC-preferred name used in the NCERT textbook. Writing just one without the other may cost you the mark.
