Detailed Solution

Concept: A colloid is a homogenous mixture of materials (sometimes known as distinct phases) in which one material—whether soluble or insoluble—is uniformly dispersed throughout the other material. The component that is present in smaller amounts is known as the dispersed phase, whilst the substance that is present in larger amounts is known as the dispersion medium.
Now, in the case of butter, we have all noticed that because there is less water than fat, the material or phase that may be described as the dispersed phase is water. Therefore, butter can be thought of as water scattered in fat.
