What makes Creatine Nitrogenous? Its chemical formula is C4H9N3O2
Would it be accurate to assume its also Hydrophillic?
It it considered Nitrogenic because Nitrogen seems to be a nucleus its all bonded to?

Here is a hypothetical Chemical formula. N2H3O7
If Hydrogen was the "nucleus" it was all bonded to, does that make this chemical Hydrogenic and Oxyphillic?

I think it means that nitrogen is the element that everything else in the formula is bonded to basically the nucleus of the formula
