Answer:

I assume you mean as in elements

A metal "A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile." (wiki)

a non-metal "In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity." (wiki)

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?
dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.
