 As I understood your question and assuming definition of the
 zero-level given above there is no difference in zero point energies
 for any two species! (if you don't consider difference in total masses
 * c^2, difference in nuclear energies etc.). So energies related to
 separated electrons and nuclei have *absolute* meening (unlinke
 bonding energies related to separated atoms).
