Why is the value of standard electrode potential of Mn, Co,Ni,Zn more negative than expected? Is  the standard electrode potential more negative than expected for cobalt?   (according to graph pg217 NCERT chemistry)

Metals will easily lose electrons and oxidised.
Negative electrode potential value means oxidised species is more stable than reduced species.
Mn and Zn have half filled and completely filled d orbitals. It gives them stability and not get reduced.
 
Ni has high negative hydration enthalpy.
 
Therefore the value of standard electrode potential of Mn, Zn, Ni is more negative.

why does copper have positive electrode potential? it has same inthalpy of ionisation(2) as nickel(-2121) so it should also have a negative value
