It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, but anyway, here is the answer. The type of medium that a compression wave can be transmitted through is liquids only. <span>When a wave moves faster than the local speed of sound in a fluid, it is a shock wave. Hope this answer helps. </span>

Answer:

Ionic bond

Explanation:

When Na loses an electron, it becomes positive ion.

When Cl gains an electron, it becomes negative ion.

The electrostatic attraction between these ions is an ionic bond.

When the relative humidity is 90%, we say the air is: supercooled superheated saturated humid

enyata [817]

Explanation:

The amount of moisture present in air at a given temperature is known as humidity.

Whereas relative humidity is the amount of percentage of moisture it contains when compared to the maximum moisture it can contain at a given temperature.

Also % Relative humidity (RH) = $\frac{P}{P_{vap}}$

where, P = the partial pressure of water vapour

$P_{vap}$ = the equilibrium vapor pressure at a particular temperature.

Accrding to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, $P_{vap}$ decreases with decrease in temperature.

Hence, it means that at super-cooled conditions the %RH would be 100%.

On the other hand, the temperature will be very high at super-heated conditions.

Hence, $P_{vap}$ will be high hence %RH will be low.

It is also known that at saturated condition, P = $P_{vap}$

Therefore, %RH is 100.

Thus, we can conclude that when the relative humidity is 90%, we say the air is humid.
