There is no chord that is always smaller since, in the limit, the chord reaches a single point on the circumference - when it it is no longer a chord!

Is diameter always a chord?
Well, a diameter in a circle is a line that is symmetrical and runs through the center. A chord DOES NOT run through the center of any cirlcle. So, in all usual senses NO. A chord always sections off a "corner" of a circle. my opinion is no because a chord always sections of a circle.
Why is a diameter always a chord but every chord is not always a diameter?
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
Why is a diameter a chord?
A diameter is a chord, because a chord always goes from one point to another in a circle, and a diameter does too.
Is a chord or a diamater longer?
In a circle, there are 1 or more chords, and only always 1 diameter. The diameter goes through the middle point in a circle and connects 2 points on a circle. A chord does not have to go through the middle, but can. The diameter always counts as a chord. So, either, both the chord and diameter are the same length, or the chord is shorter. I hope this answers your question! (:
