Detailed Solution

[Pt (NH3)2Cl2] is a square planar complex.

Pt has oxidation state of +2 and configuration is [Xe]5d8. Because of pairing, four of the 5d orbitals of Pt are doubly occupied by the 8 electrons. One empty 5d orbital, one 6s orbital and two 5p orbitals accommodate electrons donated by the two ammine and two chloro ligands. Hybridization of the complex becomes dsp2.
