It depends which element it is.

Hydrogen would have one while carbon would have 4 dots.

What type of electron is displayed in an electron dot diagram?

Electrons shown in an electron dot diagram are the valence electrons. As a "for instance" here, look at hydrogen and lithium. Each one has a single electron in their outer most or valence shell, and so each will be shown by writing the chemical symbol and by adding a single dot. H. Li.

How many moles of silicon do you have if you have 6.02 x 1024 atoms?

A mole of the element silicon is generally considered to have Avogadro's Number of atoms, since there is no particular small number of silicon atoms that is known to have distinct and persisting chemical bonds different from those of any other part of a sample of silicon. The number shown in the question is about 10 times Avogadro's Number and therefore contains ten moles.
