A Chordate is a animal with a notochord. They do not need to have spines- they just need to have a spinal cord. Fish, Reptiles, Mammals, Birds, and Amphibians are all members of the Chordate phylum. There are also invertabrates closley related to these members of the Chordate phylum that are Chordates.
Chordate is a phylum of the animal kingdom. Chordates have a hollow CNS, post anal tail, gills as embryos, and a closed circulatory system. Humans belong to the phylum Chordata.

I believe that chordates have bilateral symmetry but I'm not sure. Try looking at: http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/bio%20102/Bio%20102%20lectures/Animal%20Diversity/Deuterostomes/deuterostomes.htm
They are actually true chordates, however they are some of the simplest chordates.
all vertebrates are chordates because vertebrates are the sub- group of phylum chordates and also it follow one of the important feature of the chordates i.e. presence of notochord whereas all chordates are not vertebrates because some chordates are cephalochordates, urochordates.
There isn't a "popular name" for them. The most familiar chordates are the vertebrates, but not all chordates are vertebrates (tunicates, for example, are chordates).
Chordates are not vertebrates because although some vertebrates are chordates theres many reasons why chordates arent vertebrates.the first reason is because chordates consist of a notochord or a dorsal nerve.
One characteristic shared by all chordates is the presence of a notochord, a flexible rod that provides structural support. Humans, being classified under the phylum Chordata, possess a notochord during their embryonic development that eventually develops into the spinal column.
Chordates are animals with vertebrates.
Yes. All chordates are coelomates.
Chordates are a group of animals which include vertebrates (animals having a spinal column), so yes, birds are chordates.

Yes, hemichordates are not chordates as they are their own phylum.
Chordates such as the sea squirts and lancelets do not have a backbone that is why they are called vertebrate chordates.
