Solution

The potential difference developed between metal electrode and the solution of its ions of unit molarity (1M) at 25°C (298 K) is called standard electrode potential.
Yes, The potential of Standard hydrogen electrode is taken as 0 and hence the standard electrode potential of any metal electrode is equal to the emf between the electrode and SHE .
