No, the formation of soap scum is not a chemical change. Soap scum appears as the result of a physical change. Some of the soap and whatever has become incorporated into the soap and water dry. After the water is gone, the things left are from the soap and whatever mixed with the soap when it was "working" at cleaning.
Soap scum is a substance, not a change; but the formation of scum is a chemical process.
Soap scum is actually what you get when soap combines with minerals in your water which forms a chemical reaction. It is not bacteria or mold but it can be a house for bacteria to multiply and live. Some soap formulas leave more soap scum than others but they don't deposit bacteria or mold. Bleach is a great product for killing this bacteria and scum.
