The reaction of sodium with chlorine is a redox reaction:
2 Na + Cl2 - 2 NaCl
Each chlorine atom gains an electron to form a chloride ion:
Each sodium atom loses an electron to form a sodium ionThe element that loses electrons is oxidized. In the reaction of sodium with chlorine, sodium is oxidized. The element that gains electrons is reduced. In this reaction, chlorine is reduced.

Explanation:
Loss of electrons
One way to define oxidation is with the reaction in which a chemical substance loses electrons in going from reactant to product. For example, when sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride (NaCl), the sodium metal loses an electron, which is then gained by chlorine.
