The dynamical state of galaxy clusters describes if clusters are relaxed dynamically or in a merging process of subclusters. Using archival images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we derive a set of parameters to describe the dynamical state for 964 galaxy clusters. Three widely used indicators for dynamical state, the concentration index c, the centroid shift {omega}, and the power ratio P_3_/P_0_ are calculated in the circular central region with a radius of 500kpc. We also derive two adaptive parameters, the profile parameter {kappa} and the asymmetry factor {alpha}, in the best fitted elliptical region. The morphology index {delta} is then defined by combining these two adaptive parameters, which indicates the dynamical state of galaxy clusters and has good correlations to the concentration index c, the centroid shift {omega}, the power ratio P_3_/P_0_, and the optical relaxation factor {Gamma}. For a large sample of clusters, the dynamical parameters are continuously distributed from the disturbed to relaxed states with a peak in the between, rather than the bimodal distribution for the two states. We find that the newly derived morphology index {delta} works for the similar fundamental plane between the radio power, cluster mass, and the dynamical state for clusters with diffuse radio giant-haloes and mini-haloes. The offset between masses estimated from the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect and X-ray images depends on dynamical parameters. All dynamical parameters for galaxy clusters derived from the Chandra archival images are available on http://zmtt.bao.ac.cn/galaxy_clusters/dyXimages/.
