your body is conducting the charge away from the electroscope, neutralizing the charge

Why leaves of charged electroscope collapse if we touch its disk with metal rod?
The metal rod is a good conductor. Hence when we touch it will a charged electroscope,the repeling charges will flo through it and our body and reach th ground.so the charge disappears and the leaves collapse
What happens when we touch a charged electroscope with our fingers?
The leaves would come closer than earlier
Why is it important to touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope and not to the rubber stopper?
it is important because if you don't and touch the rubber stopper it will not show if it is positive.
What is gold leaf electroscope?
INVENTOR OF THE GOLD-LEAF ELECTROSCOPE:-Englishmen Sir Abraham Bennet (1786 Anno Domini)PRINCIPLE OF A GOLD-LEAF ELECTROSCOPE:-A gold-leaf electroscope is a simple device which is used to identify the electric charge present in a body.CONSTRUCTION OF A GOLD-LEAF ELECTROSCOPE:-1) A gold-leaf electroscope is a metallic disk attached to one end of a copper rod.2) To the other end of the copper rod, two thin gold metal leaves are attached. (Usually of gold. Can also be of another metal.)3) The side of the copper rod with the thin gold leaves is fitted inside a conical flask, through a non-conducting rubber-cork.4) The thin gold leaves are used in a electroscope to make it more sensitive.WORKING OF A GOLD-LEAF ELECTROSCOPE:-1) If an uncharged body is brought and touched on the metallic disk, we notice no change in the golden leaves.2) If a charged body (positively or negatively charged) is brought and touched to the metallic disk of the gold-leaf electroscope, it attains the same charge as that of the charged body touched to the metallic disk by the property of transmission of charges from one charged substance to another substance.3) Therefore, the golden leaves in the electroscope also attain like charges and diverge from each other due to the repulsion.4) The repulsion of the golden leaves in the electroscope is the test for finding out that whether a body is charged or not.5) If we touch any of the charged bodies, the charge escapes from our body directly to the earth through our legs.6) The charged body thus loses it's charge and becomes neutral.

What happens when you touch a charge electroscope and why?
You get an electric shock and this happens because the electroscope is charged and your body is good conductor of electricity.
What devise can you use to see if something is charged?
It is an electroscope. If you lightly touch the object to the electroscope, it either sticks it together or pops it apart if it is charged.
How do you use the gold leaf electroscope?
Touch an object to the metal receiver at the top of the electroscope. If the object is charged, it will transfer its charge to the electroscope. The receiver is connected to the gold leaf, so the electric charge from the object will spread throughout the metallic parts of the electroscope, including the suspended gold leaf. The two halves of the leaf then have the same type of charge on them. Since like charges repel, the leaves levitate away from each other at an angle dependent upon how much charge they hold.
Why is it important to touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope and not to the rubber stopper?
it is important because if you don't and touch the rubber stopper it will not show if it is positive.
