The first and the most common one is a simple radio
The first particle accelerator was built more around the time of 1927 (resonance linear accelerator) about eight years after Rutherford first split the nucleus. But not too sure one that, I have other sources saying 1929, but definitely not as late as 1972. I do know that the first successful cyclotron (a type of circular particle accelerator, which was basically the ground work for the cynchrocyclotron spelling?) was built and tested in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence.
The first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator was technetium
curium
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.

Cyclotron
yes it is a particle accelerator ;D
No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.
CERN is the largest particle physics research laboratory in the world. People can arrange a visit to CERN. The particle accelerator is included in the itinerary.
