Answer #1

Nucleophilicity of the groups can be ranked as follow:

-NH2- (Strongest) > -OH- (Intermediate) > H2O (Weakest)

1. Nucleophilicity increases with decreasing electronegativity of donor atom.

-NH2- (Strongest) > -OH- (Intermediate)

2. Negatively charged group is more nucleophilic than their neutral molecule.  

-OH- (Intermediate) > H2O (Weakest)
