I understand what you're saying. But it oughtn't be described separately at all. The verse isn't saying that God created two distinct classes of chaotic matter. It's just saying that He created matter, which was as yet unformed. That's why the whole mass is referred to collectively as 'waters' in the following verse.

Hello My Friend,
I am not so sure where you got the idea that, somehow, I was alluding to God creating two distinct classes of chaotic matter not yet formed? Please expound. Thanks
Here's once again the way I see it.... Paraphrasing...
In the beginning God created the heaven (Hebrew-air) and the earth (Hebrew-ground). And the earth (ground) was without form, and void;(empty) and darkness (Death) was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved (brooded) upon the face of the waters.
God (Elohim) had created air, dust, and water into our physical world but Death was upon everything because it was APART from the spiritual realm of the invisible God. To be APART from God is to be subject to Death.
God knew that and in order for Death to be defeated, God would have to pay the penalty for our sins or matter that He created apart from him.... so, He said, Let there be Light and Jesus came forth into the physical world from the bosom of the Father'-- Spiritual realm -- as the ONLY Begotten Son of God to shape and mold the ground which was without form like dust and shape it physically -- in order to give life or purpose to his Physical Creation thru his Son. Because in him was life. Jhn 1:4
God Bless
