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.

resistance is an opposition, it is friction. And considering the electron is subatomic, it would have almost no effect. I got a hunch that you already know the answer based on the second sentence.
