Detailed Solution

[PtCl4]2- has +2 oxidation state of Pt. In the presence of weak field ligand, the splitting is:

t2g6eg2

in eg, there are dx2-y2 and dz2. Out of two, the energy of dx2-y2 is higher than dz2. Therefore, the further splitting is:

t2g6(dxy2, dyz2, dzx2), eg2(dz22, dx2-y20).

Its causes pairing despite of weak field ligand and makes one d-orbital vacant. Hence, [PtCl4]2- has dsp2 hybridization and forms a complex having square planar geometry.
