IGM is mostly hydrogen (though it has heavier elements too) where the electrons have broken away from their atoms, making the gas charged or ionized. A common theory to explain how the IGM became ionized says it happened due to the radiation from intense ultraviolet originating in star-forming galaxies, but there is disagreement whether this was the only phenomenon that got IGM to its current state.
