Question

A standard hydrogen electrode has zero electrode potential because:

  1. hydrogen is easiest to oxidize    
  2. this electrode potential is assumed to be zero    
  3. hydrogen atom has only one electron    
  4. hydrogen is the lightest element    

The correct answer is: this electrode potential is assumed to be zero
