\mathrm{S}_{2} exist at elevated temperature, and it is paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons. In the vapour phase sulphur exists as \mathrm{S}_{2} molecule and \mathrm{S}_{2} molecule has two unpaired electrons in the antibonding \mathrm{3p} orbital and hence exhibits paramagnetism.
Electronic configuration of \mathrm{S}_2:

\left(\sigma^2 3 \mathrm{~s}\right)\left(\sigma^{* 2} 3 s\right)\left(\sigma^2 3 p_z\right)\left(\pi^2 3 p_{x, y}\right)\left(\pi^2 3 p_{x, y}\right)\left(\pi^{* 1} 3 p_{x, y}\right)\left(\pi^{* 1} 3 p_{x, y}\right)
