Ar in the table (5)

I believe the answer is:

argon

(Other definitions for argon that I've seen before include "An insert gas to groan about" , "Inert gas used in light bulbs" , "rare gas" , "Noble gas, atomic number 18" , "Noble gas used in light bulbs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
