When NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) reacts with hydrogen and gains two electrons, it is reduced to NADH. This reduction process involves the addition of two electrons and a proton (H+), resulting in a molecule that can carry energy in metabolic reactions. NADH serves as an important electron carrier in cellular respiration and other biochemical pathways.

NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
NADH+
When Nad (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) reacts with hydrogen and gains two electrons, it is reduced. This process involves the addition of electrons, which decreases the oxidation state of the molecule. Hydrolysis refers to the reaction with water, phosphorylation involves the addition of a phosphate group, and oxidation is the opposite of reduction. Therefore, in this context, Nad is specifically undergoing reduction.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
is reduced to NADH. This reaction is an important step in the process of cellular respiration, where NADH then carries the electrons to the electron transport chain to produce ATP energy.
NADH
When a molecule of NAD gains a hydrogen atom, it becomes reduced to form NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). This reduction reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the hydrogen atom to NAD, resulting in the formation of NADH.
When a molecule of NAD+ gains a hydrogen atom to become NADH, the molecule is reduced. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, which is what occurs in this process. This is part of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction where one molecule is reduced (NAD+) and the other molecule is oxidized (loses electrons).
