I am quoting from IUPAC GOLD book$^1$ .

Meso-compound : A term for the achiral member(s) of a set of diastereoisomers which also includes one or more chiral members. For example:Not defined

There is a plane of symmetry in the examples given in IUPAC GOLD book (shown in colour) .

enter image description here

Molecule $\ce{3}$ also has a plane of symmetry as shown in the figure below. This makes it achiral.

enter image description here

Molecule $\ce{2}$ does not possess plane of symmetry , and therefore chiral.

In conclusion , molecule $\ce{3}$ is achiral and molecule $\ce{2}$ is chiral.
