Mercury is very limited in the number of elements or compounds it will react with. While it does react with oxygen, it only does so at high temperatures -- around 350 degrees Celsius. It also won't react with dilute acids or acids that don't contain oxygen. Water contains oxygen, but mercury is non-reactive in water.
