Smaller alveoli are like tiny balloons and we know that they tend to collapse more than the larger alveoli. However, because they are compliant and have radial traction etc. they are stabilized back to the normal. If we have any condition (e.g. inappropriate amount of surfactant, connective tissue destruction, etc.) where we cannot pull them back to the normal size then they will collapse.
