Yes, graphite reacts with oxygen but not at room temperature. The temperature has to be quite high ;)
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
Only if mixed with a suitable oxidiser, most notably the air. thus a fine dispersion of graphite in the air can be ignited with explosive violence. Also whats known as "graphitic oxide" is explosive and this is formed from oxidation of graphite powder with nitric acid.
Ability to react with oxygen in the air is a chemical property.
Metals react with air in a form called oxidizing. This is caused because the oxygen molecules are reacting with the surface of the metal.
Magnesuium burn in air at room temperature.

Graphite does not react with oxygen at room temperature because graphite has a stable structure of carbon atoms bonded to each other in layers, which makes it highly resistant to chemical reactions. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in graphite make it difficult for oxygen to break into the structure and react with the carbon atoms.
Graphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that does not easily react with oxygen to ignite or burn.
of course not gallium does not react with oxygen you retards cuz if it did then something would happen if you would it in the air cuz oxygen is in the air

Not known today, but is supposed that copernicium can react with oxygen.

Arsenic does not react with oxygen in its elemental form. However, when heated, arsenic can react with oxygen in the air to form arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃), a white, odorless powder.
Oxygen does not react with air or water. Nothing actually "reacts" with light as it is not a substance. It can induce a reaction in some substance, but not oxygen. Oxygen will, however react with some acids mostly organic ones, at high temperatures.
Iron reacts with oxygen in air to for rust.
