  1. Electromagnetic waves propagate fastest through a vacuum. The particle is not the electron, but the photon, which is unusual in that it has a rest mass of zero. Because of this, it does not require a medium to travel.


  2. You are mistaken.

    Electrons or other charged particles are required to GENERATE electromagnetic waves and to absorb them, but once created, the waves can propagate without any help.
