Cyanogen (CN)(2), is called pseudohalo...

Cyanogen `(CN)_(2)`, is called pseudohalogen because if has some properties similer to halogens
Its structures consisits of two CN groups linked toghether. These two CN group linked together. These two CN groups may be linked either through
carbon or through nitrogen,i.e., we may have
c- N- N - C or N - C- C - N `
which of these is correct and why ?
