Light is currently considered to be the fastest known particle(s) in existence. There are theoretical particles that can function well past the speed of light. One example of such theoretical particle is the Tachyon.

What is an alpha particle equivilent to?
An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus, or a helium-4 ion. A difference is that an alpha particle has a certain amount of energy associated with it, so it can said to be fast or hot. The energy is measured in thousands or millions of electron volts (keV or MeV).
What subatomic particle is the least and most massive and which subatomic particle is respectively?
least - electron most - the top quark
What is the fastest particle of gas are moving?
the particles in gases move very, very fast
What happens hen you heat a particle up so fast it travels at the speed of light?
No particle can reach the speed of light. Mass increases with speed, and the particle would become infinitely massive as it came closer to the speed of light.
The particle that most resembles the proton?
antiproton
What is the most regular particle in the world?
The most regular place would be the House you live in.
What is an alfa particle?
An alpha particle is also considered a ray. It is a fast moving particle containing two protons and two neutrons.
How do reactions begin?
one particle has to travel rely fast
How do fusion reactions begin?
one particle has to travel rely fast
What is another name for a fast moving helium nucleus?
"alpha particle"
Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?
No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.

How does heat travel by conduction?
Heat, on a molecular or atomic level, is kinetic energy; fast moving particles are literally hotter. So, if a fast moving particle collides with a slower particle, there will be an exchange of energy. We know from basic physics that force equals mass times acceleration, so when a force is applied to a particle, that particle will accelerate. That is how heat is transferred particle by particle. All of this happens on such a small, sub-microscopic scale, that we do not see the mechanics of it, we just see heat being conducted.
What subatomic particle is the least and most massive and which subatomic particle is respectively?
least - electron most - the top quark
