They say male ligers are unfertile. Since they'er so uncommon, is it possible one might be born that can breed? Or, do to DNA, is it an absolute rule?

if the female alligator is hot a male croc might jump on her.Or vice versa.

They have never been known to, either in the wild or in captivity. Alligators and crocodiles are completely different species. They are very similar anatomically and morphologically, and they share the same phylogenetic order, but they are genetically separated by tens of millions of years. In fact, there is only one place in the wild where alligators and crocodiles run into each other: the extreme southern regions of Florida.
Humans and chimps are more closely related to one another than alligators and crocodiles are, to put it in perspective, and obviously humans and chimps do not -- at least as best as science knows, in the wild or in captivity -- interbreed.

I think they can mate, expecially if its one crocodile by himself and
several female alligators. Experts say they aren't the same species,
however they are all considered crocodilian.

Just because alligators and crocodiles are crocodilians doesn't mean they
can mate. There are many primates including humans but I don't
know of any interspecies mating there.

I heard they might from my science teacher who said something about chromosones.

they cannot produce offspring.

American crocodiles live sympatrically with American alligators where salinities are low. Most crocodilians tolerate others of the same species and of different ages provided food and other essential habitat requirements are not limiting. Where two or more species coexist, tolerance among species is also common and is usually ensured by species specific differences in habitat utilization. In Florida, the American crocodile and alligator have probably coexisted for thousands of years and relied on changing salinity gradients of surface waters to dictate which species is dominant in certain areas. Though these species probably intermingle frequently throughout the year, there is only one known location where both species may nest side-by-side. If substantiated, the nesting sites along a canal berm in the vicinity of Marco Island, Collier County, would indicate use of a common nesting area by these species. However, the species' breeding seasons may be sufficiently asynchronous in this area to allow crocodiles to breed and nest before alligators become reproductively active
I don't know if they reproduce at the same time of the year, but there isn't a record of them mating. Male ligers might be able to breed if there is a genetic mutation. Who knows, anything can happen
