H2O is highly polar and electron rich, making it a nucleophile. it also has lone pairs and the electrons are much more associated with the central atom because of its electronegativity. the central atom therefore is electron rich and readily available to denote electrons..
SO3 is electrophilic because it acts as a lewis acid which means it has the ability to accept lone pair of electrons..
i am not sure about H2O but hope it helps you
