Intuition says no, because they’re subatomic and would there for not be impeded by air molecules. But it seems like they could potentially collide with air molecules which would stop their motion, there for being resistance given by air; air resistance.

That’s quantum physics and it’s hard to answer. But as far as classical physics, anything with mass, experinces drag (aka air resistance)
