Some of its configuration are active Some aren't The ones which are active are in enantiomeric pair so inactive Someone pls correct me if this is wrong

because in this we have plain of symmetry (pos) those who have pos are optically inactive it is not a chiral compound tho it have chiral centres dude

What about middle carbon if we do cis Trans it is pseudo chiral Middle OH one

Will have to check. Tied up right now. @!Nimay¡ is best person for oc :)

It is pseudochiral but the compound is still achiral due to the plane of symmetry They will be diastereomers and not enanatiomers
