Heya !
This is due to the stability of compound.
Silver and gold have a single outer electron. The lone electron is in an S-orbital. This orbital is thus half filled
This property make them unreactive to oxygen.

Yes Silver and gold do not react with oxygen even at high temperatures as they are less reactive and are placed below the reactivity series. Hence they are called noble metals.
