Explain speaker cable resistance, capacitacance?


Can anyone please easily explain, without going too technical, the effects on sound of resistance, capacitance, inductance in speaker cable?
For example, these are the specs of two cables made by the same manufacturer:
CABLE 1
Resistance: 0.9 Ohm/100 m.
Capacitance: 17.5 pF/m.
CABLE 2
Resistance: 0.34 Ohm/100 m.
Capacitance: 32.5 pF/m.
What differences should be expected between these all other things (lenght, system) being equal?
Does the same apply to interconnects?
Thank you for your support :)

Resistance is opposition to the flow of electrons in a conductor. Higher resistance basically means that more of the signal is being dissipated as heat.
Sound-wise I doubt you'd ever hear the resistive component of these cables unless something else in the system was unusual.
Higher capacitance generally tends to roll-off treble frequencies in this application.
