Different states of a process

In computing, if a processor is running and doing a number of activities, those activities are known as its states. As a processor executes, its state changes. There are number of states like New state i.e. creation of new process, Running state i.e. execution of instructions, Waiting state i.e. its a state where processor is waiting for some activity to occur, Ready state i.e. in this a particular process has acquired the resources and is waiting to be assigned to a processor, Terminated state i.e. the execution of a process has completed.
