Answer:So when you touch a rubber rod to it, since rubber is an insulator, the charge has nowhere new to go, no reason to change anything about it. But if you touch a metal rod to it, you allow the charge to spread across the much larger metal rod, becoming essentially zero on the leaves. So the leaves 'collapse'.
Explanation:So the leaves 'collapse'.
