Solution

Combination of dinitrogen with dioxygen at 2000K

N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)

Oxidation state of N in N2=0
Oxidation state of N in NO=+2

Oxidation state of O in O2=0
Oxidation state of O in NO=2

Here, the oxidation state of N is changing from zero or native state to +2 state and for oxygen it is changing from 0 to 2 state. Therefore N is getting oxidised and O is getting reduced. Hence, combination of dinitrogen with dioxygen is a redox reaction.
