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