What term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?

The role of hydrogen gas, H2, in the formation of a water molecule, H2O is rather simple. It reacts with 1/2 mole of oxygen to form the water: H2 + 1/2 O2 → H2O or 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O Each hydrogen in the hydrogen gas is oxidized from (0) to (+1) and is reducing the oxygen from (0) to (-II) in oxidation state.
