Impedance is basically the overall resistance/impeding factor against a current in an electrical circuit. Inductive and capacitive reactances are used in a formula to DETERMINE impedance (it uses resistance too) and they are basically the opposition towards a current caused by the inductor (ex. coil) and a capacitor, respectively, in an LC or RLC circuit.
