S2 is an allotropes of sulpher in the form of disulpher , but disulpher is in gaseous state and have very less energy , as compared to s8 , which is a solid substances and having high energy .
and s2 exist only in vapour state ,
due to that sulpher exist in s8 state and not in s2 state .

HOPE IT CLEARS ..

S2 due to large size of sulphur cannot hold themselves together but in case of s8 they form crown structure which stabilize the molecules and give them high bonding strength
