Carbon atoms have the electronic configuration 1s
22s
22p
2.
Carbanions are carbon atoms with one extra electron (therefore they are not electrically neutral anymore, they have -1 electric charge). So their configuration becomes 1s
22s
22p
3.
You can notice that it is the same electronic configuration than nitrogen 1s
22s
22p
3. And just like nitrogen, carbanions have one lone pair and can form three sigma bonds.
Contrary to nitrogen, carbanions are not stable, except in particular cases where they are stabilised by resonance. They are very reactive species.
One thing i know it can accommodate 4 electron; 2 electrons goes to regular bonding molecular orbital other two electrons? and what does it mean in this state carbon contains 10 electrons with it?
I am not sure I understand what you mean. Sorry if I answer outside your question:
A carbon atom with 10 electrons is normal when the atom is bonded within a molecule. For example, let's consider methane CH
4. Electronic configuration of atomic carbon: 1s
22s
22p
2. So, if you include the core electrons in 1s, you have 6 electrons in total. Now, each hydrogen bring his own electron to share with the carbon. Four hydrogen atoms give four extra electrons
6+4=10 electrons for the carbon. It is the same for carbanions.
This is a consequence of the octet rule
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_rule. For elements C, N, O, F and Ne with filled 2s and 2p orbitals, you have: 8 valence electrons + 2 core electrons in the orbital 1s = 10 electrons in total.
Is it what you were asking?
