All matter has mass. Air is made of matter (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, etc.) and has mass. The mass of air at standard conditions is 1.229 kg/m3

Yes

Zero.

I think that it is impossible for a massless body to move an electron from its path. Photons are massless but how they are able to displace an electron having mass.

No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.

Theoretical massless particle?

== == The Higgs Boson is another theoretical particle thought to be responsible for the presence of mass in other particles that have mass. I believe the Higgs Boson is theorized to be itself massless. there are 3 known massless particles: the gauge boson, the photon, and the gluon ( the gluon isn't necessarily categorized as a free particle due to the fact that they are confined to hadrons) neutrinos were also, until recently, were thought to be massless. however, they were discovered to change flavor, which means that they must have mass.

How can a particle of matter be massless if the definition of matter is Anything that has mass and takes up space?

By definition a massless particle has no rest mass therefore it can not take up any spacial volume. I think the confusion lies with calling something that is massless, a particle. This is because as soon as we hear particle we think "object" and objects have definite mass and volume. A photon is massless and sometimes people may refer to it as a particle of light. But in fact that is sort of a misnomer being that it really isn't a particle, though it has particle-like properties. If something is massless theorists have said that the object does not interact with the Higgs field, though gravitational effects are still felt by the photon, example: gravitational lensing.


Would a massless object fall?

As per Law of Gravitation, there is no gravitational force on a massless object, so it will not accelerate. But mass-less object does not exist. It should have some mass and all objects fall down on earth with same acceleration irrespective of their mass(if air resistance is neglected).
