No, it is not. A chord is a line segment. It cannot have a length of zero. A point has no dimensions. The chord of a circle is a line segment that has its endpoints (both of them) on the curve (or circumference) of the circle.

The radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a chord intersects the chord at its midpoint, so it is said to bisect the chord.
A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.
A chord is a straight line from one distinct point on the circle to another. The diameter is a special chord, the longest one and the only one that passes through the center.
a diameter is always a chord because a chord always goes from one point of the circle to the other and a a diameter goes from one point to the midpoint
A chord is any line segment going from one side of the circle to another. A diameter is a special chord - it is a chord that goes through the center of the circle. It is also the biggest chord possible in the circle. So all diameters are chords, but not all chords are diameters
