It is shown that fundamental concepts of the theory of molecular spectra (energy levels and transition probabilities) can be used to build a system of equations describing not only intramolecular processes (temporal changes of spectra) but also chemical transformations. To this end, resonant levels with wave functions that describe the chemical transformations and allow their ab initio probabilities to be evaluated are introduced. As a result, computational experiments aimed at predicting the process development and its optimization are possible.
