As we have learnt,

 

Standard reduction potential -

It measure the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and there by be reduced. It is measured in volts or mv.

-

 

 Absolute electric potential for an electrode cannot be measure without forming a cell. Therefore hydrogen is taken as standard reference and its potential is taken as zero.
