what types of chemical reaction does not have oxdiztion and reduction...

A chemical reaction is a process where one or more substances, known as reactants, interact with each other to form new substances, known as products.
Oxidation and reduction are two types of chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one substance to another. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons.
A chemical reaction that does not involve the transfer of electrons between reactants is known as a non-redox or non-oxidation-reduction reaction. These reactions typically involve changes in state or rearrangement of atoms, but no change in the oxidation states of the elements.
Some examples of non-redox reactions include acid-base reactions, precipitation reactions, and complex formation reactions. In these reactions, there is no change in the oxidation states of the elements involved.
It is important to distinguish between redox and non-redox reactions because they have different characteristics and mechanisms. Redox reactions often involve the production of energy and can be used to generate electricity, while non-redox reactions are important for the formation of new compounds and substances.
