when a beam of electrons pass thru a sufficiently small diffraction grating ,showing the wave nature of the electron,does the beam experience electrical resistance?

No, electrons in a beam are traveling freely and independently through space. Electrons in atoms of a conductor that get passed from atom to atom to make electricity flow in a wire are behaving much differently. In that case, the resistance comes from inefficiencies of handing off the electron from atom to atom.

Yes, it wouldn't want to die from electricution or heat

Always unless it is in a vacuum.
