Carbanions .i.e C- has one anion that means it has two elctrons and three bonding pairs.
And every bond pairs share two electrons.
Hence in total or summing up it has 6 elctrons to share and 2 electrons unshared due to anion.
.
Therefore it has sp3 hybridization and the structure would be pyramidal geometry.
 
orbitals are hence s annd p.
