How does cyanogen chloride differ hydrogen cyanine?

Cyanogen chloride differs from hydrogen cyanide in chemical structure and formula. Hydrogen cyanide is HCN, composed of the elements hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen. Cyanogen chloride is ClCN, composed of the elements chlorine, carbon, and nitrogen. From the formulas and structures it is possible to infer that cyanogen chloride is denser as a gas, and less likely to produce cyanide ions (CN-) than hydrogen cyanide.
