What are electrolytes? (self.explainlikeimfive)

I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising... salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

Free as in my mom bought it and gave it to me together with some other vitamins.

(Since showing context isn't working properly atm, going off of memory of what was being talked about for this reply, sorry if I'm wrong and it doesn't make sense)

Too expensive as in the results were the real cost, not what you paid or didn't pay at a store.
