I was wondering if gravity was just the net interaction of the electrons orbiting the atom and the magnetic fields collapsing and recombining among each other somehow that made sense in my head.

Gravity cannot be anything as simple as a force. One cannot account for gravitational time dilation (curved space-time) that way. In addition, since it scales with atomic mass rather than atomic number, a model that makes it a function of the number of electrons is pretty much eliminated.
