Redox reaction stands for reduction/oxidation reaction whereas acid-base reaction involves acid and base in its reaction.
Acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons whereas redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons. Thus in both the case, a charged species is transferred from one molecule to another.
In case of redox reaction, oxidation involves loss of electrons and reduction involves gain of electrons. Thus, one substance gets oxidized (acts as reducing agent and donates electrons) while other gets reduced (acts as oxidizing agent and gains electrons).
Similarly, in acid-base reaction one substance accepts proton while other releases proton. Thus, one substance is called conjugate acid (the base that accepts protons) and other is called conjugate base (acid that donates protons).
Thus reducer and oxidizer are analogous terms for acid and base respectively.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the
