Here is the answer
Redox Reaction
In this reaction, An oxygen atom goes away from CuO { Copper oxide } , which means that reduction of copper oxide takes place, whereas hydrogen molecule takes up oxygen atom and water { H2O } is formed , hence, Oxidation of hydrogen takes place.
{ CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O }
This is the reaction.
Thus Oxidation and Reduction reactions occur simultaneously . Due to this characteristic of the reduction and oxidation reaction, a single term " Redox " reaction is used in place of two terms.
In fact,
Redox = Reduction + Oxidation.
For Example,
MnO2 + 4 HCl ---> MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2.
2 H2S + SO2 ---> 3S + 2 H2O.

Answer:In a chemical reaction oxidation and reduction both take place simultaneously and such reactions are known as Redox reaction
Example: when iron reacts with air, it forms iron oxide
