sp^2 hybridization results from the mixing of a 2s orbital and two 2p orbitals. Since three orbitals are mixed, you end up with three sp^2 hybrid orbitals. There will be an atomic p orbital that remains unhybridized. This p orbital will be empty or involved in a pi bond. Most atoms with three domains will be sp^2 hybridized.
