The orbitals used in sigma bonding while forming a compound of type AB6 with trigonal prism geometry are,
(i) 2 orbitals of A1' symmetry
(ii) 2 orbitals of E' symmetry
(iii) 2 orbitals of E'' symmetry.
Explanation:
See the hybridization for a AB6 structure for trigonal prism geometry which is sd5 hybridization.
You have to now see how the other symmetry orbitals in the D3h character table are setup.
So, we know that the p type orbitals will not be involved now as per the table.
I have shown first, we identify the s and d type and we know we need 6 orbitals to sigma bond to 6 incoming ligands.
