Answer:

Both metals and non metals.

Explanation:

The correct formula of baking soda is NaHCO₃,

An element is considered to be metal if it is able to give electron easily due to very low ionization energy.

A non metal is ready to accept electron easily due to high electron affinity.

In sodium bicarbonate :

Na: Sodium : metal

H : Hydrogen: non metal (although placed with first group, alkali metals, in the periodic table as it readily loses electron like metals)

C: Carbon: Non metal

O : Oxygen : Non metal.

So the compound contains both metals and non metals.
