First, CO2 is called "carbon dioxide." Second, these are not "scientific names," they are chemical names. Chemists need a special language to talk to each other because of all the chemicals they deal with. Photosynthesis is a process, not a chemical, so there isn't a single "word" which means "photosynthesis." But, there is a "sentence," see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Photosynthesis_equation.svg
