Answer:
In the course of a chemical reaction between a metal and a nonmetal, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the nonmetal atoms. For example, when zinc metal is mixed with sulfur and heated, the compound zinc sulfide is produced. ... A redox reaction is another term for an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Answer:
This splitting of the reaction into two half-reactions automatically reveals here that sodium is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced. Any substance which loses electron is oxidized and gains electron is reduced hence is the case of sodium and hydrogen atoms respectively. Therefore, the complete reaction is a redox change.
