anonymous · Answer

Welcome to OS!! ^_^
Electrolytes help nutrients move into the body's cells and help wastes move out. They also aid in the stabilization of the body's pH level. Electrolytes can affect your heart rhythm, your muscles’ ability to contract, your brain function and energy level.

Well, in chemistry it has a little different meaning, @xxAshxx 
it is actually referring to some substance which forms ions in an aqueous solution. For instance, $\sf (NH_4)_2C_2O_4$ $\rightarrow$ $\sf NH_4 + C_2O_4^{2-}$ and henceforth, making the solution electrically conductive.
