Well, 4-methyl-1,3-butadiene is really just 1,3-pentadiene: CH2 = CH - CH = CH - CH3
C5H8
Acetylene: H - C ≡ C - H
C2H2
2,4-pentadiene: CH3 - CH = CH - CH = CH2
C5H8
The other two are already done above...

Molecular formulas tell you how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas tell you the simplest or most reduced ratio of elements in a compound. If a compound's molecular formula cannot be reduced any more, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula.
