Selection between two <div> with JQuery

Hello guys, if I have two <div> and I want give an animation just at one of them, how can do it?

This is the code 

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
        $("div")[0].animate({
        left: '250px',
        opacity: '0.5',
        height: '150px',
        width: '150px'
        });
    });
});

I tired with the brackets but does not work.

Thank you!

If you only want to animate one div, you should only select one div. Right now you're using jQuery to select all divs on line 3.

$("div")

You should select the div you want to animate more specifically, for example by a class or an id.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
        $("#myDiv")[0].animate({
        left: '250px',
        opacity: '0.5',
        height: '150px',
        width: '150px'
        });
    });
});
