Abstract
Essential phases in the formation of humic substances are governed by small radicals of low molecular weight. Consequently, intramolecular resonance interactions can result in a certain stability for various parts of a system of humic substances without providing stability for the entire system. Such stability can only follow from intermolecular resonance interactions due to electron transitions among humic molecules. A system of humic substances can therefore be considered as electron-donor and electron-acceptor complexes. When reactions among the donor and acceptor complexes reach a steady state, humic substances have their maximum stability, as is suggested by thermodynamic calculations. Especially important in the formation, constitution, and behaviour of humic substances are electron transitions. How they occur and what their effects are on finally oxidized systems of humic substances form a central problem in chemistry of humic substances.
