Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction. Reactants undergo a chemical change in which chemical bonds are broken and new ones formed to make products. In a chemical equation, reactants are listed on the left side of the arrow, while products are on the right side. If a chemical reaction has an arrow that points both left and right, then substances on both sides of the arrow are reactants as well as products (the reaction proceeds in both directions simultaneously).
So here CH4 is the reactant.
