A chord of a circle that contains the center of the circle is called the diameter.
Any chord of a circle that contains the center of the circle is a diameter of that circle.Just two things now. We'll say that the chord of a circle that passes through the center is the longest chord of that circle, but you've probably already figured that out. Additionally, we'll say that there are an infinite number of chords that can be drawn through the center of a circle. Now you're armed and ready to continue your investigation in geometry.

well its true that every chord contains two points of the circumference of a circle 'cos a chord is the straight line between two points on the circumference
A chord is any line segment that connect two points of a circle. If a chord passes through the center of the circle it is called the DIAMETER of the circle. The diameter of any circle is the longest chord of that circle as well.
No. The chord is a diameter only if it passes through the center of the circle. In that case,it's also the longest that any chord can possibly be in that circle.
