Yes, although the molecule clusters evaporate rapidly after they leave the surface

Even if they're in a high humidity environment where you could plausibly seed a cloud in the first place?
Thinking about this again, and I'm not sure. On one hand, yes, you could theoretically see a situation where the clusters want to grow because there are so many water molecules around them. But normally we seed clouds with much, much larger aerosols. Larger diameter = different (more favorable, I believe) surface energy.
