Since nitrogen is less electronegative than fluorine in NF3, the electrophilic site is the Nitrogen atom. That means the water molecule should attack nitrogen atom in an SN2 manner. The stearic crowding around the atom is also less. Then why is the reaction not taking place. Is it only because fluoride ion is a poor leaving group due to its high basic strength.
