## Overview
The Elemental Combinator project allows users to drag elements into a merge box and visualize the resulting compounds. This interactive experience provides an engaging way to learn about chemistry and the periodic table.

## Features
- **Drag-and-Drop Functionality**: Drag elements into a merge box to combine them.
- **Real-Time Feedback**: Visualize compounds as they are formed.
- **Educational Tool**: Provides information about the elements and their combinations.
- **Customizable Settings**: Adjust configurations to suit your preferences.

## Installation
To run this project, you'll need Python installed along with the required dependencies. You can install the necessary packages using the following command:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
