The balanced chemical equation is :
5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)
Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.
Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.
Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

Electrons are electrochemically negatively charged particles that move random around the nucleus. They have a relatively small mass compared to Protons and Neutrons. They are found in electron clouds that surround the nucleus and their movement and properties provide for the bonding characteristics of each atom.
