By definition, diameters are lines that reach all the way across the circle, crossing the middle point. The definition of a chord is a line segment that stretches across a circle intersecting at two points that does not cross the middle point. Chords are not diameters, for the property that makes a line segment a diameter is the intersection with the middle point. If the line segment is a diameter, then it automatically means that it is not a chord, for in essence, they are opposite.
