Hey, great! DHamilton, you've just made an experimental prediction. Here it is, your prediction:
A mass of gold or lead should exert a greater gravitational force than an equivalent mass of steel or glass or fluorine, because gold or lead have 600 g neutrons per kg total, whereas steel and glass have 530 and 500 g neutrons per kg respectively, and only the neutrons exert gravitational forces. Similarly, bromine should exert larger gravitational forces than fluorine
Is that right? Would you like to stand up and support that prediction? Please make a clear yes-or-no response:
- YES, I predict that different elements exert gravitational forces in proportion to the mass of neutrons, not to the total mass. If a Cavendish balance experiment showed that the gravitational acceleration is the same (within, say, better than 1%) towards bromine, fluorine, glass, steel, lead, or gold mass, this would prove my theory false.
- NO, I actually have no idea whether different elements will exert different attractions in a Cavendish balance. My statement about a proton being "not a gravitational source" doesn't actually mean anything testable.

I will also offer an alternative prediction:
- YES-BUT: I have no idea how complex nuclei gravitate, so I make no prediction for Fe/Pb/etc., but I can say for sure that hydrogen atoms do not gravitate, so a compound consisting of 1% hydrogen should be a 1% weaker gravity source than a hydrogen-free compound---a measurement showing that such compounds were equal at 0.1% or better would falsify my theory.
Which is it? Yes, no, or yes-but?
None of the above. You seem bright but not quite collected. I said that a neutron is a gravitational source because it is composed of a full set of velocity potentials and their conjugates...so it is a time rate gradient structure. If you believe that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction then as the proton is falling in the gravitational source that doesn't mean that the gravitational source is not simultaneously being displaced toward the proton. If it were not then Newton's Third Law would be in the toilet. Every motion can be reduced to a conjugate set of velocity potentials and that is primarily why Newton's Third Law is True...
I will say, though, that a larger gravitational source will, because of the charge separation effect, demonstrate some potential to layer elements and even lock them or pin them at a specific distance from the gravitational terminus. That distance would be a balance point where the electron binding energy is equal or greater than the apparent attractive force on the protons towards the towards the gravitational terminus.
