Within a quantum molecular dynamics model we calculate the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), density fluctuation and mass distribution of fragments for a series of nuclear systems at different initial temperatures. It is found that the $LLE$ peaks at the temperature ("critical temperature") where the density fluctuation reaches a maximal value and the mass distribution of fragments is best fitted by the Fisher's power law from which the critical exponents for mass and charge distribution are obtained. The time-dependent behavior of the LLE and density fluctuation is studied. We find that the time scale of the density fluctuation is much longer than the inverse LLE, which indicates that the chaotic motion can be well developed during the process of fragment formation. The finite-size effect on "critical temperature" for nuclear systems ranging from Calcium to superheavy nuclei is also studied.
