Can a particle in one dimensional motion have less speed than velocity?

Speed and velocity cannot be compared because they are different things. It is like saying "apples > Oranges". Velocity is a vector and, as such, it has a direction and a size. The size of the vector velocity is it's speed.
To answer your question: no because they can't be compared. And if you wanted to ask if the size of the velocity vector being smaller than the speed... no... that is the definition of speed... so it cannot be different, regardless of the number of dimensions you are using.

When an object's speed change does its velocity change?
Since speed is the magnitude component of the vector quantity of velocity, of course when speed changes velocity also changes. Speed is a one dimensional scalar quantity. Velocity is a three dimensional vector quantity describing both speed and direction of motion.
Can a particle in one dimensional with zero speed may have non zero velocity?
There are fundamental errors in the question. A particle is three dimentional and cannot exist in a one dimentional universe, nor can velocity.
Is it possible in straight line motion a particle have zero and non-zero velocity explain?
Sounds like a trick question. The answer is no. Speed is a scalar with magnitude only and velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. So If traveling with velocity in a straight line it has speed..

How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
What is velocity equal to?
Velocity = displacement (Δd) / (Δt) time Furthering this physics equation would depend on your use (ex. if it was "relative" or "motion" )
Is Accelerated is related to the statement Circular motion with uniform speed?
yes.acceleration means change of velocity and not speed to be more precise.in a circular motion with constant speed the particle or the object constantly changes its direction.the direction of velocity is directed along the direction of the tangent at that point.although speed remains constant the velocity changes infinite number of times.so the particle is said to be accelerating.there is always instantaenous acceleration.but the average acceleration becomes zero after every round because velocity becomes the same after every round.
Can you add speed with velocity?
Yes, speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector, adding them together is called a quaternion or complex motion (s + v) = [s,v]. Complex numbers in geometry are 2 dimensional quaternion subsgroups.
What is the combination of velocity?
Velocity is a speed and a direction of motion.
What is a factor of velocity and not speed?
The direction of an object's motion is a component of its velocity but not of its speed.
How are speed and motion related terms?
Speed is a scalar, motion (or velocity) is a vector.
Can particle with velocity or speed at zero be accelerating?
Yes.
