Structure of Atom

Question:

When is the energy of electron regarded as zero?

Answer:

The energy of the electron is regarded as zero when it is at infinite distance from the nucleus.
At that point force of attraction between the electron and the nucleus is almost nil. Therefore, its energy is regarded as zero.
