6. Translate the following sentences:

1. The lower the energy barrier, the more often will it be passed over. 2. The longer the molecule, the less is the chance for the shift to occur. 3. Within each disintegration series, the energy is greater the shorter the half-life period. 4. The danger of oversimplification is the greater the more multifarious and complex the phenomenon is. 5. As the pressure is increased, the overflow through the pipe increases and, within rather wide limits, the greater becomes the current through the pipe. 6. The electric field causes a deflection of the particles towards P2, the amount of the deflection being greater the less the velocity of the particles. 7. The more rapidly molecules can carry momentum from point to point, the greater is viscosity. 8. The boiling point will be lower, the lower is the atmospheric pressure. 9. At any instant most of the molecules have orientations in the slower speed region, this tendency being greater, the stronger the force of gravitation.
