What is the exactly the condition to be satisfied for a thermodynamic process to be identified as adiabatic?Is it q=0 or gamma=1.4(for air) or both?

I mean lets say there is a polytropic process with air having index n other than 1.4 but it is insulated such that q=0.Then can we term it as adiabatic. Another situation lets say for a given...
