Answer:

The answer to the question: Intracluster gas is cool, would be: false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Known as the intracluster medium, or ICM, the intracluster gas is a plasma that can be seen in and around a cluster of stars, or galaxy cluster. Composed primarily of hydrogen and helium that can be see as an aura of a galaxy, one of the characteristics of this medium is that it is superheated, can reach really high temperatures, and therefore, this would make the above statement false.
