Is a virtual memory a special chip inside the hard disk?

No.Virtual memory is a file stored on the disk and managed by the operating system software. As needed the operating system copies blocks of internal memory out to this file to free internal memory and copies blocks from this file to internal memory when a program needs it again. To assist the operating system in this task the computer has to have virtual memory management hardware and interrupts.All of the hardware that is involved directly in the operation of virtual memory is part of the computer, not the harddisk.

What part of a computer store the memory?

From a technical standpoint of view, computer memory stores multiple bits of information. Each bit is an atomic boolean entity (it can be in one of two states, True or False, 0 or 1, etc). Computer memory typically stores large numbers of bits, commonly but not necessarily arranged in groups of bits. Eith bits (an octet) are commonly known as a byte, but other grouping, typically in powers of two, is common.Semantically, computer memory can store anything for which there is a digital description. It can store numbers, or the works of Shakespeare, or you digital holiday photos. It cannot store items such as a perfume, or a smell (such as the perfume's frangrance), but it can store the perfume's recipie along with a chemical formula for the fragrance's aromatics.
