Because KCN is ionic bonding and AgCN is covalent bonding in KCN after reaction with haloalkanes C has free electron to bonding with other but in AgCN N has electron to bonding.so haloalkanes reacts with kcn to form cyanide and withAgCN isocyanide

KCN is predominantly ionic and provides cyanide ions in solution. Although both carbon and nitrogen atoms are in a position to donate electron pairs, the attack takes place mainly through carbon atom and not through nitrogen atom since C—C bond is more stable than C—N bond. However, AgCN is mainly covalent in nature and nitrogen is free to donate electron pair forming isocyanide as the main product.
