When Cl2 is passed through methane, one Cl atom displaces one of the H atoms from CH4 and methane turns into chloromethane.

Methane gets converted to chlorine with chlorine as a reactant in the presence of Ultraviolet(UV) light or a temperature above 300°C.
Methane reacts with chlorine to form monochloromethane ( CH3Cl) and hydrochloric acid( HCl).On further reaction with chlorine it forms di-chloro, tri-chloro and tetrachloromethane.
The reactions are given as follows:
CH4 + Cl2 --------> CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 -------->CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2--------> CHCl3 + HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 ----------> CCl4 + HCl
