Voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. Current has to
change first. Therefor, I (current), in a C(apacitor), comes before E
(voltage).
Current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously. Voltage has to
change first. Therefor E (voltage), in an L(inductance) changes before I
(current).

Reactance is not responsible for a phase change.
---Reactance of a capacitor and reactance of an inductor have units of ohms.
---A google search for "reactance is responsible for phase difference?"
found this link:

That resource is approved.

@BBC:
Here, I'll take crack at it:
When a voltage is applied across a conductor and charge starts to
flow, a magnetic field is generated around the conductor which causes
a voltage to be generated in the conductor which opposes the applied
voltage.
This opposition is in addition to the ohmic resistance of the
conductor, and is called "Inductive reactance" or, written
symbolically, "Xl" (X sub L)
Now, since time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening
all at once, the magnetic field doesn't build up instantaneously and,
as a consequence, as the voltage across the inductance varies, the
current through it won't fall in step.
Do you understand?

You know, I think the best way to understand about R, C and L might be
to build circuits and measure things with 'scopes. (and the proper
scope probes) But I can't remember every doing that in college.
Think about a capacitor charging through a resistor. When you applyWhy there exists phase difference between current and voltage?

Instead of investing all that time and all those resources, why not
just use SPICE?
